A blend of Arab, European and African influences, Marrakech's setting provides a dramatic backdrop to an energetic oasis city. The day starts with haunting calls to prayer, before the haggling over rugs and jewellery within the famous souks begins. In the evening, a drumbeat provides visitors with a dramatic impression of Djemaa el-Fna, the main square in the old town where fortune tellers, acrobats, musicians and dancers perform. By dusk, open-air food stalls add their aromas to the hectic sights and sounds of the city. Take a tour of intriguing Moroccan architecture or the city's immaculate gardens for a more chilled out experience.
